error -3259

I've been having the same problem ever since I downloaded the new version of iTunes.

Same problem here. Never had the problem before 7.0.1.8. Now I cannot download anything with trying up to 20 times. Took me hours to download a movie with having to keep restarting the download and checking for purchases. Now, more often than not, I have to use the Report a Problem link in the store and point out the issue and they post the item back to my account so I can download. It's really frustrating.

Plus things take foreeeeeevvvvvvvvveeeeeeerrrrrr to download whereas before they clicked right along. I haven't installed anything other than upgrading to this P.O.S. upgrade. No firewall, no blockers, fast DSL connection. And it does not matter whether I'm on DSL at home or at either of my 2 offices. It's the P.O.S. software, not my computer OR my network connections as I get the same thing on all 3 different networks.

I guess it's not just me. Many people I speak to on- and offline are having the same problem with iTunes latest release. Does anyone know if Mac users are having this problem?

I have the same problem since version seven, I hope someone can give a solution but I think it can only be solved by Apple.

Im having the same problem when im downloading a song and it gets to having about 40 seconds left and then goes to 6 minutes and then the error comes up

Wow No Answers? This error is drivng me **** insane, i purchase alot of tv shows for theis crap. well will check back for solutions

I have had exactly the same problem -I ordered and paid for the Reindeer Room Vol 1 + Santa Baby. It (sometimes) appears as greyed-out in my purchases but isn't live. It's nearly Christmas and I'd like to know how to download my music sooner rather than after.

I have a load of purchased tunes that I can not
downlaod because it times out, and gives me an error
-3259 Does anyone know what the fix is? I would
appreciate any advice.
Thanks Victoria

I've been having the same problem for a week and i am really burned that i can't get a response back from iTunes support. Four messages and a customer service survey later and i still don't have an answer

I am having this same problem when trying to download music. It keeps coming up with this msg that the network timed out and i keep restarting it and it keeps happening. I was just wondering if anyone got it fixed and if they did maybe tell me what you had to do to fix it.

Thanks

I finally got past the **** error! I went home for christmas and used my dad's net connection and they downloaded like a charm.

Oh yea, and i never got help from apple......that angers me

I have the same error. Ostebsibly it defers the fault to your internet settings. Howver, from reading other messages in the forum I would suggest the fault lies with the latest version of Itunes. So Itunes have the money, we have no Reindeer Room and the fult lies at their doot! Bah humbug it would appear!

I had the same error -3259 and found on another discussion board how to fix the problem of being unable to download songs.
Go to start menu, type services.msc
Scroll down till you find McAfee Redirector, right click and select Stop.
I did this and was finally able to down load the 3 songs I purchased a month ago.
I hope this helps.

imma Mac user and have never had that problem...

Thank you. This worked. One phone call and two emails with iTunes “tech support” with umpteen hours of trial and error and the only useful piece of advice came from you.
Thanks again.
